What is recorded here

In the year 2000 the upstanding monument was described as following; 'Near the top of a long, gentle W-facing pasture slope. A poorly preserved circular area (diam. 46m) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3-4.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) SSE-W-NE, with faint traces of an outer fosse, partially recut as a later field drain along the W'. Recent aerial photographs visible on Digital Globe indicate that today there are no surface remains visible of this monument which has been levelled since last site visit in 2000.
